I had been hoping to get down to my real goal weight by the end of the year but though I've lost good amounts the last couple of weeks, I also had some really low, slow weeks, and I'm not sure I'll get there so for the challenge I'll just aim to lose 21lbs. Goal weight for Christmas: 160lbs

Oh my, only 20 weeks!?! ulp.

Thanks for starting this.

OK, I'm aiming for 25lbs off.

This is because when I started my weightloss, October 2002, I got within 16lbs of goal by October 2004. I began to wobble. I kept track, albeit a wobbling track, right up to Christmas 2004, when I was 168 and after that, kaboom. 25lbs would take me to 1lb better than that!

So, "25 by the 25th!"

Aug 7 - Starting Weight: 192.5

I am going to set a 40 lb. goal, so 207lb. by Christmas! Sounds like so much, but I know I can average 2lb. a week if I push myself. This will give me the accountability to do it!

My original goal was to have a fifty pound loss before Christmas, but I am sure I can beat that. So my new goal is a sixty pound loss. That means I need to lose 22.5 pounds or 1.1 pounds a week.
